I like #2 also. Having looked at a zillion Lensbaby photos, I am less impressed by the effect for its own sake and much more impressed when the selective focus is used to reinforce the composition of the image. In the second image, the blur at the bottom of the photo sweeps the eye upward toward the top of the totem pole, which reinforces the overall composition. I dare say this photo is much more interesting as a Lensbaby photo than it would be with straight glass. That is always a key criteria for me when looking at Lensbabyography. Top it off, #2 does have a lovely overall color scheme and nice lighting. Well bent.
